    Can you make a copy of this database available to me?  Also, does it depend on
    FUP being there?  Finally, please send me instructions on how to reproduce the
    `blinking' leak you noticed.  I'll try running it under Purify and see what we
    learn, both in 1.7.9p2 and the current 1.8.0 draft.

    Thanks,
